HTML

Just like window.localStorage, I wish window.globalStorage was a thing. An easy for way all apps to have a database. No need to set up a database, etc for every little app. Just ship index.html.

I haven’t really thought about how authentication would work though. Would each browser store data sandboxed by website under a unique ID? Would users have to authenticate somehow before using it? Who is storing this data, and where?

Okay, I see why this doesn’t exist. Yet.

I wish it was easier to make “self-editing” HTML files. I should be able to have a single HTML file, open it, put text in the inputs/textareas or wherever, save it, and have the HTML file itself update with that content.

Chrome gets close, but if you open a regular HTML file directly as file://, you don’t get file system access. You have to serve it from localhost/HTTPS instead of just opening the file.
